PREFACE.
This new revised and enlarged edition of the Canadian
Parliamentary Guide and Work of General Refer¬
ence has been somewhat delayed by reason of recent
numerous general elections in Canada, but it has the ad¬
vantage of being brought up to the London and North
Oxford bye-elections on June 13. Some of the errors
which crept into the last edition have been corrected and
if any others appear in this edition the Editor will be
obliged to any person who would point them out so that
an approach to perfection in the next edition may be
attained. In this edition there are almost thirteen more
pages than in the last and much useful information not
easily accessible elsewhere will be found in the first twenty
and the last four pages.

PARLIAMENT.
35
THE PARLIAMENT OF CANADA.
(1905.)
The Parliament of Canada consists of the Sovereign,
the Senate and the House of Commons.
THE SOVEREIGN.
His Most Excellent Majesty, Edward VII., by the Grace
of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire¬
land and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas, King,
Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India; born Nov. 9,
1841; succeeded to the Throne Jan. 22, 1901, on the death
of his mother, Victoria.
THE SENATE.
The Senate, as at present constituted, consists of 83
members, 24 each from Ontario and Quebec, 10 each from
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, 4 each from Prince
Edward Island and Manitoba, 3 from British Columbia
and 4 from the North-West Territories.
THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The House of Commons, which is elected by the people
for a maximum term of five years, consists of 214 members.
The number is fixed under the provisions of the Act of
Confederation, and the representation is arranged after
each decennial census, by Act of Parliament, the basis
being that the Province of Quebec is always to have 65
representatives, and each of the other Provinces such a
number as will give the same proportion of representatives
to its population as the number 65 bears to the population
of Quebec, as ascertained by the census. British Columbia,
by the terms of the agreement made between the Dominion
and Province prior to the union, is to have at least six
members.
A Redistribution Bill, introduced by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, .
March 31, 1903, provided for an increase in the membership
of the House of Commons from 213 to 214, divided as
follows: — *
Ontario
Quebec
86 — a loss of six
65 — no change

COMMONS GENERAL ELECTION.

THE CONSERVATIVE PLATFORM.
Previous to the Elections to the House of Commons
held on Nov. 3, 1904, Mr. R. L. Borden, Leader of the
Opposition, issued the following address to electors; as
reported in the press: —
Halifax, N.S., October 24, 1904.
To the People of Canada:
Parliament is now dissolved, and political parties must
submit themselves, their actions and their policy to the
judgment of the people.
Since my election to the leadership of the Liberal-Con¬
servative party, it has been my privilege to address audi¬
ences in every province and territory of the Dominion, the
Yukon excepted, and with my colleagues to discuss in
Parliament many subjects affecting the public weal. Our
policy has been clear, defined and consistent, the same in
every quarter, alike to every class.
TRANSPORTATION.
The records of Parliament show where we stand on the
public questions which have been before the country since
the last elections. These cannot all be discussed in this
message, but in regard to some of the principal issues in¬
volved in this contest I submit in a few words from the
platform on which we appeal for your judgment.
The subject of most immediate concern is transportation.
Having regard to the enormous obligations which would
be imposed upon the people by the Government’s rash
trans-continental projects, to the certainty that its adop¬
tion by you would shut out for a century Government
ownership of railways, to the vital importance of control¬
ling our own traffic and commerce, this question is the
most momentous and far reaching that has ever been sub¬
mitted to the electorate of Canada, The immense terri¬
tory and ever increasing products of Canada demand the
best and most economical transportation. We know that
the people are willing to provide generously whatever
money may be necessary for the development of the Do¬
minion, and our policy is to extend and improve its trans¬
portation facilities by land and by water. But we insist
that what the people pay for, the people should own and
control; that public money should be used for Canada, for
its people, and not to promote the trade and wealth of
foreign ports.
222
PARLIAMENTARY GUIDE.
We fully realize the country’s need for increased facili¬
ties of transportation. Efficient service and reasonable
rates must be assured. In utilizing the public credit for these
purposes we must be thoroughly guard against the diver¬
sion of our trade into the hands of foreign competitors.
The Government seeks to impose upon the people liabi¬
lities amounting to at least SI 50,000,000, for the construc¬
tion of a transcontinental railway under conditions which
absolutely fail to safeguard our national interests. The
important and immediately profitable western division is
to be owned and the whole is to be absolutely controlled
by a corporation interested in diverting our trade away
from our own ports. We oppose to this our declared
policy of constructing the new transcontinental railway
as a public work to be owned and controlled by the people,
and to remain a national highway in the truest sense. I
beg you clearly to understand that it is still open to you
to decide whether this shall be done. Do not be misled
by any assertions to the contrary.
We affirm that the management of the Intercolonial
Railway and of other railways operated by the Govern¬
ment should be freed from partisan interference and from
party political control.
We also confirm the necessity of thoroughly equipping
our national ports and of developing and extending our
system of canals and inland waterways.
THE FISCAL ISSUE.
The principles upon which Sir John A. Macdonald based
his fiscal policy in 1878 guide us today. We maintain and
we will develop that policy for the advancement of the
whole Dominion. It is a stable policy avowed openly
without reserve. It is a practical business policy, adjust¬
able to the needs of the time. Our aim is so to apply it
for the common good of the people and for the conserv¬
ation of the Canadian market for the Canadian producer,
that honest industiy in every legitimate calling may re¬
ceive a just reward, that the toiler may enjoy in his own
land full employment under conditions which ensure a
just wage, that- capital may be attracted to and may be
safely invested in our industries, that articles and com¬
modities required for the use of our people may be pro¬
duced as far as is reasonably possible in this country.
We believe that any extension of our markets by means
of reciprocal trade arrangements should be sought among
COMMONS GENERAL ELECTION.
223
those within the Empire who are our chief customers,
rather than in foreign countries. A preference for our
products in British markets would lead to an immediate
enormous development of our resources. Such a prefer¬
ence the Conservative party will endeavor to obtain on
favorable terms.
In making appointments to public offices we shall place
personal character and capacity above considerations of
party service, and such additional safeguards will be pro¬
vided as may be found necessary for the full protection of
the public treasury.
More efficient means will be devised to guard against
corrupt practices at elections and to protect the electorate
from fraudulent devices by which the will of the people
has been so often thwarted, and the name of Canada de¬
graded.
Inspired with an abiding faith in the justice and wisdom
of our policy, and with an earnest confidence that it will
prevail, we now submit it for your consideration, believing
that it merits and that it will receive your approval.

THE PARTY PLATFORMS.
THE CONSERVATIVE PLATFORM.
The following resolutions, as reported in the Mail and
Empire, Toronto, were adopted at a Conference of the
Conservative party of Ontario, which met at the Pro¬
vincial Capital on November 24 and 25, 1904: —
That this Conference expresses its high appreciation
of J. P. Whitney in the interests of good government,
popular rights and administrative reforms. That it
pledges itself to uphold him in his patriotic fight for a
better condition of things and that it undertakes to urge
upon the people the necessity of aiding him in his en¬
deavors, and of thus rescuing Ontario from a situation
that is both intolerable and dangerous.
1 hat this Conference declares its hearty approval of
the policy and principles of Mr. J. P. Whitney and the
Liberal-Conservative opposition as enunciated in Mr.
Whitney’s address to the Conference, and as shown and
set forth by the journals of the House and the public
records of the Province.
PROVINCE OF ONTARIO.
267
That, in the opinion of this Conference, a local mining
office should be established in each mining district, where
all information in regard to the mining lands in such
districts may be obtained free of charge, and where a
location map shall be kept on which each application,
when made, shall be marked, and such application shall
be granted in the order in which they are received at such
office.
That this Conference feels that the sphere of usefulness
of the Ontario Agricultural College should be improved
and extended and that, inasmuch as not more than two
per cent, of the farming community enjoy the advantages
of training at the College, an earnest effort should be
made to disseminate more widely the valuable informa¬
tion available at that institution; that the schools of the
Province should be utilized for these purposes and bul¬
letins on timely agricultural topics be circulated among
the schools for the instruction of the pupils, and with a
view of keeping before the boys in the rural sections the
advantages of a thorough agricultural training.
That in the opinion of this Conference, the respective
funds created to encourage and assist the tile and muni¬
cipal drainage, be enlarged from time to time as necessity
may require. That henceforth the interest on the monies
already loaned, as well as those to be loaned, shall not
exceed the actual cost thereof to the Province.
That in the opinion of this Conference as to lands now
or hereafter opened for settlement, the bona-fide settler
should have the free grant of the lands and all timber
and minerals thereon, subject to proper restrictions and
regulations to prevent the location of lands unfit for
settlement for agricultural purposes. That actual settle¬
ment in Ontario should be encouraged, and nothing be
permitted to prevent or retard bona-fide settlement or
the development of mineral properties; providing that
where timber licenses cover lands required for settlement
or mineral development, equitable arrangements be made
protecting the just rights of licensees.
That this Conference endorses the attitude of the Con¬
servative representatives, as shown by the records of the
Legislature, on the principle of the public ownership of
public utilities and heartily approves of the following
words of our leader in calling the Conference: —
“ In the presence of great public peril, party designation
“and differences are of secondary importance.
268
PARLIAMENTARY GUIDE.
“The first great necessity of the situation is clean,
“honest and decent government. The policy of the
“Opposition in the Legislature is familiar to the people,
“and has received their endorsement and ratification by
“a majority of six or seven thousand voters. To this
“record we point with pride.
“The question of increasing the means of obtaining
“agricultural instruction by adding it to the curriculum
“in the High Schools and Collegiate Institutes and pro¬
viding parcels of land for practical work, and also the
“question of the encouragement of systems of sewerage
“in towns and villages are among the questions advocated
“by us.
“ Legislation should be had to facilitate the acquirement
“by municipalities on proper and reasonable terms of all
“public utilities, and also to provide machinery for the
“prompt settlement of disputes between capital and
“labor.
“At the last session of the Legislature, the Opposition
“proposed that the Temiskaming Railway, constructed
“and owned by the Government, should be operated by
“the Province for a term of years. This opportunity
“for a practical test of government operation of railways
“ was voted down by the Government.
“The attitude of the Opposition on the question of the
“proper assessment of railway property was made clear
“by their efforts to pass the Pettypiece bill as a basis for
“action — efforts which failed when the promoter of the
“bill abandoned it and joined the Government in killing
“ it. These are some of the questions on which the people
“ are interested.
“ But, I repeat, the first great necessity of the situation
“is clean, honest and decent government. We are all
“familiar with the humiliating story of the iniquities
“which have been perpetrated, and by means of which a
“minority Premier has been enabled — and, alas! has also
“been willing — to defy public decency and flaunt before
“the people his enjoyment of a position which he noton-
“iously holds by virtue of such iniquities.
“ By what the Government has done in the past we may
“reasonably forecast what it may attempt to do in this,
“ its last effort to avoid public condemnation.
“ In the face of the public danger, and in order to afford
“an opportunity to avert it, I have called this meeting.”
PROVINCE OF ONTARIO.
269
That this meeting heartily endorses and commends the
action of Mr. Whitney in declining the proposals of coali¬
tion made to him.
That this Conference is in favor of the better inspection
of factories and of the labelling of prison made goods as
prison made goods and the proposal of Mr. Whitney for
the enactment of legislation for the settlement of labor
disputes.
That this Conference, in recognizing that abuses exist
in connection with the liquor traffic, places itself on record
as being in full sympathy with all well directed efforts to
promote temperance and moral reform.
THE LIBERAL PLATFORM.
.Adopted at a Convention held in Toronto, November 23
and 24, 1904, as published for distribution by the
party executive.
1. Education and Agriculture.
That this Convention affirms its confidence in the in¬
struction of the youth of Ontario in all the courses of study
directed by the Educational Department, to which have
recently been added those practical courses of study which
specially fit them for agricultural and industrial pursuits,
and in this connection desires to express its approval of
the introduction of manual training and domestic science
into the Normal, Public, High and Separate Schools and
the establishment of Technical Schools in several of the
leading cities of the Province. Technical education might
well be further assisted, and the Dominion Government
should lend substantial aid in this branch of study, affect¬
ing as it does the interests of trade and commerce. This
Convention further expresses its approval of the educa¬
tional work of the Department of Agriculture through the
Agricultural College, Farmers Institutes, Daily Schools,
Fruit Growers Associations and other similar associa¬
tions, feeling confident that, judging by the past record
of the Liberal party, Ontario will continue to hold a pre¬
eminent position among the Provinces of the Dominion
for educational enterprise and efficiency, under a Liberal
administration.
That the Provincial University in all its departments
should continue to receive such support from the Legis¬
lature as its growing needs may require, and as the in¬
terests of higher education imperatively demand.
270 PARLIAMENTARY GUIDE.
2. Purity of Elections.
That this Convention, representing the Liberal Party
of the Province of Ontario, repudiates and condemns iu
the most unqualfied terms every form of bribery, by
which electors are illegally or corruptly influenced at
elections to the Legislative Assembly, and all fraudulent
schemes to defeat the honest purpose of the electorate,
as being a violation of the fundamental principles of
responsible government and contrary to the spirit and
traditions of the Liberal Party.
And this Convention would also call upon the Liberal
members of the Parliament to devise the most ample
means whereby election trials shall be continued until
every offender is duly convicted and punished, and that
no political or other considerations be permitted to stand
in the way of the fullest vindication of the sanctity of
the ballot, and the protection of public morals even to
the extent of disfranchising constituencies reported by
the courts to be wantonly and criminally corrupt.
That any candidate bearing the Liberal colors should
try to complete his organization out of reputable men
residing or having business connections in his own riding,
and that#it is an active duty of every Liberal candidate
to see that no person who has been judicially noted for
corrupt practices is included in his electoral organization
or brought into political contact with his constituents.
3. Railway Assessment and Taxation.
This Convention would approve of any legislation
whereby the property of railways should contribute to
the revenues of municipalities and the Province on a
basis of assessment and taxation in every respect equal
to the assessment and taxation of the property of private
citizens or other corporations, and that in the framing
of such legislation the recommendations of the railway
taxation commission appointed at the last session of the
Legislature should be carried out so far as may be found
suitable to the conditions existing in the Province of
Ontario.
4. Extension of Temiskaming Railway.
That this Convention approves of the construction of
the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway by a
Commission appointed for that purpose by the Govern-
PROVINCE OF ONTARIO.
271
ment as a practical demonstration of Government Owner¬
ship by the Province, and that the extension of the
Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway to the inter¬
section of the Grand Trunk Pacific, near Lake Abittibi,
should be pressed forward with the greatest diligence,
and that surveys should be made at an early day between
the said point of intersection and Moose Factory, in order
to ascertain the practicability of extending the Temiskam¬
ing and Northern Ontario Railway to Hudson’s Bay, and
thus connecting the fisheries of that great island system
of. waters with the business centres of the Province of
Ontario.
That it shall be the duty of the Minister having charge
of the colonization and settlement of the new districts,
after conference, if necessary, with the Commissioners
for the construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific, to deter¬
mine at what points, having regard to the advantages of
settlement and the availability of water power and other
proper considerations, sites for towns along the said rail¬
way could be most advantageously situated, and having
selected such sites, to cause the same to be surveyed,
laid out and sold under the direction of the proper de¬
partment of the Government, the proceeds of such sale to
form part of the public revenues of the Province.
5. Timber and Minerals for the Settlers.
That all lands suitable for agriculture in the unor¬
ganized districts be thrown open for settlement as soon as
possible and that every bona-fide purchaser or locatee of
such lands shall on taking possession thereof have the
right to cut for his own use or for sale, every description
of timber thereon, pine only excepted.
That pending the issue of his patent, the settler shall
have the right to cut and take, free of charge, so much of
the pine as he may require for building and fencing or
other uses, and that on completion of his settlement
duties, the purchaser or locatee shall receive a patent
from the Crown without reservation of pine, mines or
minerals.
That the most liberal terms should be offered to pros¬
pectors for minerals, providing that the minerals dis¬
covered are developed within a reasonable time and not
held purely for speculative purposes.
272
PARLIAMENTARY GUIDE.
6. Provincial Charters.
That we desire to reaffirm our adherence to the principles
of Provincial rights, and express our opinion that steps
should be taken to prevent the incorporation of companies
by act of the Dominion Parliament, which are purely
local in character and operation, and which only obtain
incorporation by the declaration that they are for the
general advantage of Canada.
7. Pine and Pulp Wood Lands.
That before the pine and pulp wood on any of the lands
now in the Crowm are offered for public sale, a careful
enquiry should be made by the Government to ascertain
whether some met hod might not be adopted whereby the
matured timber could be disposed of by open competition
to be cut under the direction of forest rangers, leaving the
remainder of the pine timber and pulp wood to be cut
when sufficiently matured for the market, and that all
lands on which pine has been cut should be reserved for
re-forestration, with a view to preserve for the future
needs of the Province a source of revenue which has
yielded since Confederation $40,000,000 to the Provincial
treasury.
That while this Convention approves of the concessions
already made for the establishment of pulp industries, as
being the only practicable method of securing the neces¬
sary capital for their early development, the Convention
is of the opinion that in all future concessions north of the
height of land where large areas of pulp wood timber, not
interfering with pine timber limits, and numerous water
powers exist, and where a water power and a pulp con¬
cession are both in the Crown and tributary the one to the
other that both should be submitted to public auction
jointly, one of the conditions of sale being that the pur¬
chaser should pay a bonus for the right of occupation and
an annual rental for the water power as well as reasonable
dues for the pulp wood required for the industry.
8. Provincial Commission for Protection of Muni¬
cipalities.
That in the opinion of this Convention many public
interests would be greatly protected by the appointment
of a Provincial Commission having authority to deal with
such questions as the bonding powers and capitalization
of companies concerned in the operation of public utilities,
PROVINCE OF ONTARIO.
273
the application of municipalities for consolidating deben¬
ture debts, and by-laws of municipalities purporting to
confer monopolistic rights in public utilities, such Com¬
mission to have power to advise upon the terms of such
by-laws and generally upon other matters similar to
certain State Commissions in the United States or Local
Improvement Boards in the Mother Country.
9. Labor Question.
That this Convention is pleased to notice the progressive
character of the labor legislation of the Province of
Ontario during the last twenty-five years, by w'hich wages
are secured by liens and preferences over ordinary credi¬
tors or by simple processes at law, by which the safety of
the working classes has been protected on railways and in
factories, by which the hours of labor have been re¬
stricted, and facilities afforded for voting at municipal
and parliamentary elections; by which the inspection of
factories, bakeries and mines has been provided and a
Labour Bureau established for collecting information with
regard to the condition of labor in Canada and other
countries.
That this Convention is of the opinion that those
branches of the public service affecting labor should be
consolidated with a view to the fullest consideration of
the various matters with which they are concerned in
order if possible to establish better relations between
capital and labor, the avoidance of strikes by the best
methods of conciliation and the prevention of unskilled
aliens and prison labour from interfering with the oppor¬
tunities of the working classes of the Province.
10. Minister of Colonization and Labor.
That in the development of New Ontario it is of primary
importance that active measures should be adopted for the
settlement of its agricultural lands by a judicious selection
of the best class of immigrants from the old world, and by
directing from the older counties of the Province those
who might otherwise settle in other provinces or in the
United States, and as all movements of population either
within the Province or from abroad to the Province,
unless carefully controlled, may injuriously affect the
laboring classes and disturb the balance between the
supply and demand for labor, skilled or unskilled, this
Convention would recommend the appointment of a
18
274
PARLIAMENTARY GUIDE.
Minister to be known as “Minister of Colonization and
Labor,” to whose department should be attached the
immigration and colonization branches of the Govern¬
ment and also the Bureau of Labor, Factory Inspection,
and any other branches of a kindred character that may
hereafter be established.
11. Temperance Reform.
(1) That this Convention desires to place on record its
unqualified conviction that intemperance is an evil with
which there should be no compromise; that the temper¬
ance sentiment of the community, as evidenced by votes
taken from time to time, has shown that the people are
prepared for advanced legislation, and without reciting
numerous amendments to the license act, on which
there should be no difference of opinion, this Convention
declares that any legislation which affords a well-grounded
hope of being effective in curtailing and restraining the
treating habit, in reducing the consumption of intoxicat¬
ing liquors, in closing drinking resorts, and in preventing
the sale of liquors on Sundays, and during prohibited
hours, and the most vigorous enforcement of the license
law in every particular, would meet with its approval as
in the interests of public morals, the domestic comfort
and the material wealth of the people of Ontario.
(2) That this Convention further believes that the
power given to municipalities to close bars and shops
under what is known as local option, if generally exercised,
would greatly tend to remove the evils of intemperance,
and this Convention would approve of legislation whereby
the vote of a municipality must be taken under local
option on the petition of twenty-five per cent, of the rate¬
payers, without reference to the Municipal Council; and
further, that in any case of submission under the local
option system, there be provision made for offering the
alternative of Government control, or for the acceptance
by the people of restrictions such as further shortening
of hours, reduction of licenses, or Government control
of business now carried on under shop licenses or other¬
wise.
(3) That no new licenses should be issued in unor¬
ganized New' Ontario for all time to come; the Govern¬
ment should take charge of the necesseary sales for
medicinal purposes, etc. In granting land for hotel
sites it should be stipulated that no liquor is to be sold in
them.
PROVINCE OF ONTARIO.
275
(4) That no new licenses shall be granted in licensed
municipalities, except on a petition of 50 per cent, of the
municipal electors of the polling sub-division where it is
desired.
(5) That any license-holder convicted of violating the
law twice shall thereby forfeit his license.
12. Public Utilities.
That it has been the policy of the Legislative Assembly
under the direction of the Liberal party to give the
greatest liberty consistent with safety to municipalities
in regard to all matters of a local or municipal character.
That for over half a century the municipalities of
Ontario have had the right of ownership in toll roads and
bridges constructed for the use of the municipalities, and
during recent years, under Liberal legislation, a similar
right has been conferred with regard to such public
utilities as water, heat, gas, electric light and power,
telephone, street railways, .public parks, libraries, etc.
That where these utilities were in the hands of private
companies or corporations power was given to munici¬
palities to take them over and operate them for the muni¬
cipalities and the ratepayers.
That in 1902 provision was made whereby any munici¬
pality, either by itself or in union with other municipali¬
ties, could lease or own franchises of water powers for
generating and transmitting electricity, and a committee
of several municipalities is now considering how this power
may best be exercised in connection with the generation
of electricity for transmission to business centres in
Western Ontario in connection with Niagara Falls.
That the Government obtained authority from the
Legislative Assembly to construct at the expense of the
public treasury the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario
Railway for the purpose of opening up the northern
districts of the Province, which railway is now owned by
the Province.
That this Convention while approving of the course of
the Liberal Party in promoting Public Ownership by the
Government and by Municipalities, desires to express the
opinion that any difficulty which experience has shown
to stand in the way of ownership by municipalities of any
276
PARLIAMENTARY GUIDE.
franchise which a majority of the qualified ratepayers in
that behalf declare to be in the public interest should be
removed (due regard being had to the private interests
involved), and that all franchises for any public service
of any kind whatsoever hereafter granted by a munici¬
pality shall be limited to a period not exceeding 30 years,
with the right of purchase at any time within that period
on such equitable terms as a properly constituted Board
of Arbitrators might determine. This Convention would
also approve of granting a Charter to Toronto and to
other cities where geographical conditions or other cir¬
cumstances would warrant such a course.

On May 26, 1903, it was announced that Premier Prior

explained, to facilitate an appeal to the country on
party lines. The House reassembled, after an adjourn¬
ment of some weeks, May 27. The adjournment took
place in order to afford a special committee opportunity
to take evidence in regard to the Columbia and Western
railway land grants, and the position of officials of the
C.P.R. in that affair. When the House re-assembled,
Premier Prior stated that he had formed the opinion that
it was impossible for the Government to be carried on
effectively with acute differences of opinion existing be¬
tween its members. He had acquainted the Lieutenant-
Governor with the situation, and had been promised a
dissolution as soon as the supplies had been voted. Sub¬
sequently the Premier moved the adjournment of
House, and the motion was voted down by 14 to 17.
After discussion, a motion, by the Opposition, to adjourn
was also voted down, and subsequently a motion to ad¬
journ, made by the Premier, was agreed to. On May 28,
Col. Prior asked the House to vote the supplies necessary
until the new House was elected. This request was re¬
fused by a vote of 19 to 16. Mr. Curtis moved for a com¬
mittee to investigate a newspaper charge that Col. Prior
had improperly secured a contract to his firm from a de¬
partment of which he was at the time Acting Minister.
He concurred in Mr. Curtis’ motion. On the committee
reporting the evidence, Col. Prior acknowledged that he
had been indiscreet, but denied that he had been dis¬
honest.
On June 1, the Lieutenant-Governor dismissed the

THE ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGE
There are few national institutions of more value and interest
to the country than the Royal Military College at Kingston. At
the same time its object and the work it is accomplishing are not
sufficiently understood by the general public.
The College is a Government Institution, designed primarily
for the purpose of giving the highest technical instruction in all
branches of military science to cadets and officers of the Canadian
Militia. In fact, it is intended to take the place in Canada of the
English Woolwich and Sandhurst and the American West Point.
The Commandant and military instructors are all officers on the
active list of the Imperial army, lent for the purpose, and, in addi¬
tion, there is a complete staff of professors for the civil subjects
which form such a large proportion of the College course.
Whilst the College is organized on a strictly military basis the
cadets receive in addition to their military studies a thoroughly
practical, scientific and sound training in all subjects that are essen¬
tial to a high and general modern education.
The course in mathematics is very complete and a thorough
grounding is given in the subjects of Civil Engineering, Civil and
Hydrographic Surveying, Physics, Chemistry. French and English.
The object of the College course is thus to give the cadets a
training which shall thoroughly equip them for either a military or
civil career.
The strict discipline maintained at the College is one of the most
valuable features of the system. As a result of it young men acquire
habits of obedience and self-control and consequently of self-reliance
and command, as well as experience in controlling and handling
their fellows.
In addition the constant practice of gymnastics, drills and out¬
door exercises of all kinds, ensures good health and fine physical
condition.
An experienced medical officer is in attendance at the College
daily.
Five commissions in the Imperial regular army are annually,
awarded as prizes to the cadets.
The length of course is three years, in three terms of 9i months'
residence each.
The total cost of the three years’ course, including board, uni¬
forms, instructional material, and all extras, is from $750 to $800.
The annual competitive examination for admission to the Col¬
lege will take place at the headquarters of the several military dis¬
tricts in which candidates reside, in May of each year.
For full particulars of this examination or for any other in¬
formation, application should be made as soon as possible, to the
Adjutant-General of Militia, at Ottawa, Ont.

THE CANADIAN NORTH-WEST
HOMESTEAD REGULATIONS.
Any even numbered section of Dominion Lands in Manitoba
or the North-West Territories, excepting 8 and 26, which has not
been homesteaded, or reserved to provide wood lots for settlers, or
for other purposes, may be homesteaded upon by any person who
is the sole head of a family, or any male over 18 years of age, to the
extent of one-quarter section of 160 acres, more or less.
ENTRY.
Entry may be made personally at the local land office for the
District in which the land to be taken is situate, or if the homesteader
desires he may, on application to the Minister of the Interior, Ottawa,
the Commissioner of Immigration, Winnipeg, or the Local Agent for
the district in which the land is situate, receive authority or some
one to make entry for him. A fee of $10 is charged for a homestead
entry.
HOMESTEAD DUTIES.
A settler who has been granted an entry for a homestead is
required by the provisions of the Dominion Lands Act and the
amendments thereto to perform the conditions connected therewith,
under one of the following plans: —
(1) At least six months’ residence upon and cultivation of the
land in each year during the term of three years.
(2) If the father (or mother, if the father is deceased) of any
person who is eligible to make a homestead entry under the provi¬
sions of this Act, resides upon a farm in the vicinity of the land
entered for by such person as a homestead, the requirements of this
Act as to residence prior to obtaining patent may be satisfied by
such person residing with the father or mother.
(3) If a settler has obtained a patent for his homestead, or a
certificate for the issue of such patent countersigned in the manner
prescribed by this Act, and has obtained entry for a second home¬
stead, the requirements of this Act as to residence prior to obtaining
patent may be satisfied by residence upon the first homestead, if
the second homestead is in the vicinity of the first homestead.
(4) If the settler has his permanent residence upon farming
land owned by him in the vicinity of his homestead, the requirements
of this Act as to residence may be satisfied by residence upon the
said land.
The term “vicinity” used above is meant to indicate the same
township or an adjoining or cornering township.
A settler who avails himself of the provisions of Clauses (2),
(3) or (4) must cultivate 30 acres of his homestead, or substitute 20
head of stock, with buildings for their accommodation, and have
besides 80 acres substantially fenced.
Advertisement.
Every homesteader who fails to comply with the requirements
of the homestead law is liable to have his entry cancelled, and the
land may be again thrown open for entry.
APPLICATION FOR PATENT.
Should be made at the end of the three years, before the Local
Agent, Sub-Agent or the Homestead Inspector. Before making
application for patent the settler must give, six months’ notice in
writing to the Commissioner of Dominion Lands at Ottawa of his
intention to do so.
INFORMATION.
Newly arrived immigrants will receive at the Immigration
Office in Winnipeg, or at any Dominion Lands Office in Manitoba
or the North-West Territories information as to the lands that are
open for entry, and from the officers in charge free of expense, advice
and assistance in securing lands to suit them. Full information
respecting the land, timber, coal and mineral laws, as well as re¬
specting Dominion Lands in the Railway Belt in British Columbia,
may be obtained upon application to the Secretary of the Depart¬
ment of the Interior, Ottawa; the Commissioner of Immigration,
Winnipeg, Manitoba; or to any of the Dominion Lands Agent's in
Manitoba or the North-West Territories.
W. W. CORRY,
Deputy Minister of the Interior.
N.B. — In addition to Free Grant Lands, to which the Regula¬
tions above stated refer, thousands of acres of most desirable lands
are available for lease or purchase from Railroad or other corpora¬
tions and private firms in Western Canada.
